Today was a fairly routine day
of exploration and colonization. One new park was established - Big Bend National
Park.

When I sign on (above) I get mail
notification on two ship arrivals, but in fact liner #19 needs another day
to reach the optimal civilian unload point, and liner #20 was just reaching
the corner of Park Headquarters, and needed to have its course set again.

I work on the economy a little,
using most of my movement time. I want to make sure that any docks which are
efficient, have 100 workers.

I decide to LAUNCH a ferry to get
civilians to all the detached little inland islands on Park headquarters.
It's a housekeeping activity which should not be put off too long, or some
other nation will wander up and land on them, giving you something else to
worry about. Since this island is released, it's only a matter of time before
other nation's explorations ships wander by. Might as well do it now.

The image below shows some ferry
maneuvers including an assault and unload on an inland island (sector 12,11).

A couple of moves, a few designations
and that inland island is now occupied. I'll keep that ferry going around
the island until all of the inland islands are in my possession.

I quick check on the NAVIES report
shows Black Co has something out there bigger than a PT. But not much bigger.
All other nations look about the same.
